If you enjoyed the energy-based robotic gameplay of Inscryption Act 3 and wished it was available as part of Kaycee's Mod, then this is the mod for you.

Installing this mod will give you the option to play against either Leshy or P03 when you start a new run. Selecting Leshy will give you the standard game you're used to, but selecting P03 will send you to the land of Botopia, where you will draft robotic cards (including all new cards created just for this mod), explore procedurally generated maps, fight off bounty hunters, and purchase upgrades with your hard-earned robobucks. And at the end of it all, P03 is waiting for you in an all-new boss fight.

It's been a while since you've heard from me. Life changes quickly. I got a bad case of Covid, I had family members get seriously injured, and was just generally unavailable for a while.

Working on this and other Inscryption mods has been an amazing collaborative journey over the past months. Ever since I completed Inscryption for the first time in the fall of 2021, I spent all of my spare time (and then some) working on modding this game and being a part of an incredible community. But unfortunately, things change, and I cannot keep this up moving forward. I simply don't have the same amount of spare time that I used to, and it's time for me to move on.

I have nothing but gratitude for everyone who supported me and helped me accomplish what I have been able to accomplish. I know I'm leaving work unfinished, but I know that would be true no matter when I called it quits.

If anybody wants to continue any of my work, I hereby grant unrestricted permission for anyone to fork any of projects and make it their own moving forward. This work was always a passion project for the community, and I would be honored if anyone on the community wanted to continue that work. Please feel free to copy anything I've done and use it for yourself.

Thanks for everything, /0

When you install this mod, you will see two 'new run' options on the opening screen for Kaycee's Mod. You can either start a New Leshy Run (the default KCM experience) or a new P03 run (this mod's experience).

P03 runs differ from Leshy runs in a few significant ways:

1. You have more choice over how the maps play out:
   • You can fight through the four zones in any order you choose.
   • You are not forced to use any map nodes that you don't want to. (Pro tip: you still need to add cards to your deck - matches last longer than you might be used to).
2. Most of your choices are based on how you manage your currency. You will find currency on the map, and you earn it by 'overkilling' P03 during battles. (Pro tip: you should deliberately overkill as much as possible if you want to build a strong of a deck as possible). Every upgrade you select will cost you robobucks. The only thing that's free is adding new cards to your deck.

There are also some changes from the way P03's gameplay worked the first time through:

1. Bosses have been updated. G0lly and the Archivist are the most significantly different; both of them have completely reworked second phases.
2. There is a final boss fight against P03. He has...some thoughts about what you're doing.
3. Some events work differently (see below).
4. There are now NPCs that will give you quests with rewards for your run.
5. And there...might be some other hidden secrets as well.

The runs are still similar to Leshy in significant ways:

1. You will still start with a draft.
2. There are a number of starter decks that you can pick from to help guide your selections through the rest of the game.
3. You must complete four battles against enemies before facing the boss. Once you beat the boss, you're done with that zone and can't go back.
4. There are now rare cards available to you. You will be given a Rare Token for completing a boss, which you can spend at the draft node to get a rare for your deck.

Some events play the same in this mod as they did the first time you played through Botopia. However, some are different. Here's what you need to know before spending your robobucks on an event:

• Build-a-Card: This is mostly the same as before, but the ability pool has been modified. The Unkillable sigil is no longer able to be added to a build-a-card, and a few new abilities (such as conduits and cells) are added.
• Gemify Cards: This behaves the same as before.
• Items: You can buy an item like you would in Act 1. However, you can only get one item from each shop.
• Overclock: This is significantly different. As before, the overclocked card gets +1 attack. However, when an overclocked card dies, it is not just removed from your deck. It is replaced with an Exeskeleton with the same set of abilities as the original card. So if you overclock a Sniper and it dies, you will get an Exeskeleton with the Sniper sigil.
• Recycle: Instead of getting robobucks back for your recycled card, you get a draft token. Normal cards get you a standard Token, with all of the card's abilities imprinted on the token. Those abilities will transfer to the card you draft with it. Rare cards get you a Rare token, which can be exchanged for another rare card.
• Transformer: You now select two cards instead of one, and the transformation causes one card to transform into the other.

New in Version 2.0 - you will now encounter NPcs scattered throughout the map who will give you optional side quests that you can complete for some additional rewards!

Some challenges simply don't work in this context. Any challenge that doesn't work will be 'locked' and you won't be able to select it.

If you've created a new custom challenge and you want it to be compatible with this mod, you need to set a flag named "P03" on the challenge using the Challenge Manager in API 2.4+

ChallengeManager.FullChallenge fch = ChallengeManager.AddSpecific(...)
fch.SetFlags("P03");

If the challenge does not have this flag set, it will always be locked when the player is setting up a P03 run.

If you want to add more cards to the pool for use in this mod, you need to add one of five new unique metacategories to your cards. These metacategories control which regions the cards can appear in choice nodes. For example, a card that has the 'TechRegionCards' can only show up in the draft node at the hub of the map, or in choice nodes in the Tech region ("Resplendent Bastion").

All of these metacategories have this plugin's GUID: 'zorro.inscryption.infiniscryption.p03kayceerun'

The five metacategories are:

• NeutralRegionCards: For cards that can appear in any region.
• WizardRegionCards: For cards that should appear in the Wizard region (these cards should be gem-related)
• TechRegionCards: For cards that should appear in the Tech region (these cards should be conduit-related)
• NatureRegionCards: For cards that should appear in the Nature region (these cards should be beast/animal related)
• UndeadRegionCards: For cards that should appear in the Undead region (these cards should be death-related)

Note that this does not control which battles/encounters the cards appear in.

Here is an example of how to do this in code.

public static readonly CardMetaCategory WizardRegion = (CardMetaCategory)GuidManager.GetEnumValue<CardMetaCategory>("zorro.inscryption.infiniscryption.p03kayceerun", "WizardRegionCards");

CardInfo myCard = (...);
myCard.AddMetaCategories(WizardRegion);

Unfortunately, custom encounters and regions are not currently supported by this mod. Perhaps sometime in the future.

While the full credits will play in-game when you win for the first time, I have to thank everyone that made this possible here as well:
